Craft/Rank: Weyrbrat Candidate
Description:
Vesresh is a thin kid of an average build, neither scrawny nor bulky. His fashion sense is lacking and he typically wears unremarkable, simply-made beige clothes, though they look like they are in good condition, are of good quality, and relatively new.
His eyes are wide and are dark blue in color. They are very clear, if distant, with that gem-like quality some eyes have. He is pale-skinned and freckled, with a smooth and rounded face that gives him an added sense of vulnerability, but promises to get more internal structure and definition as he gets older.
Personality:
In general, Vesresh is a good boy. He is not a troublemaker or an instigator. He's just a sweet, anxious kid.
What Vesresh definitely is not is brave: novelty is best enjoyed, for him, at a distance, and he is often found sitting alone because talking to new people feels too much like a risk.
This is not to say that he is antisocial – far from it. He wants to talk to people, in fact he feels he should. However, people, especially if he does not know them, are intimidating to him and he can't get up the guts to go over and initiate conversation. In other words, he's super shy.
When he does talk, he's pleasant, if awkward. He is a bright boy, from both the words he chooses and his ability to do well in his lessons. He is very creative as well, often doodling fantastic scenes in a ratty little sketchbook. Ever since the Revolution, he hasn't done very much sketching at all, however: the issues it raised, along with the stress of such a violent society, have overwhelmed his rich imagination for the time being.
He is also jumpy, often anxious and easily upset by both trivial and not-so-trivial matters. He cries a lot (for joy as well as sorrow), especially when he is alone. Physical comfort helps him calm down, and a hug from a family member goes a long way. His emotions are felt and expressed strongly, and, though he is highly anxious, this is not to be confused with mood swings, which he does not have. In fact, all told, he's a pretty stable kid.
He is very attached to and adores his friends and family, and is physically affectionate to those he cares about. Family members will be frequently kissed, pets snuggled, and friends hugged. It is always appropriate, of course, and he will quickly learn who wants – and doesn't want - what.
His attachment to people can, at times, seem like a little too much, and he is definitely dependent on others for his emotional well-being. In particular, his sisters are his role models and is it not usually a happy Vesresh that is seen without them.
A trait he shares with said sisters is that when he starts something, he finishes it, even if it brings only upset and misery. He is not a quitter, despite his nerves, and if he has to find someone else to help him do whatever it is, he is not afraid to ask.
That is, of course, if he manages to get up the courage to approach - having a motive or goal helps.
Of course, this is if he can pull his head out of the clouds. He has many ideas and an active imagination, which distract him from reality easily. Prone to daydreams, if he could only write down the stories in his head then he would have a successful potential career as a harper.
